Cheap step up converter?

Latch over 13 years ago

I need to step up 12V to 24V.

IN: 12V @ 5A OUT: 24V @2.5A

I know this is simple sounding, but I am just looking for the cheapest way to do it. Switch or linear converter is ok.

One simple and cheap Texas/National Semiconductor LM 2587T-ADJ

... but 1.5A, and @80-90% efficiency

You can use the WEBENCH tool to change the values according to what you need.
You can request samples directly from TI or NS website.
